Man1 There has to be something wrong with these monitors...

I use the free versions of Speedfan, SandraLite and Everest and all three of them are showing my motherboard temp as 27C - 29C and my CPU temp as ....9C - 10C. SAYWHAAAA! :wtf:

Yesterday when I checked it, several times throughout the day, it read about 33C to 38C for the board and 32C to 36C CPU. The CPU/Heatsink has only been together for a couple of days, though. I installed the 650...Monday...I think. Now I know the compound sets up over time but...good grief! My 630 never did go below 35C.

Last night before I put the system into Standby the temps were around 33C

The only thing I can think is the weather is cooler here, it is currently 43F...but that's outside!. I generally keep the room temp around 70F. The temp down at the floor, though is cooler and that's where the PC is, sitting on the floor and the CPU fan has a funnel sucking fresh air through the cover of this Aluminus. And, of course, rushing air is naturally going to cool that much better than static or normal pressure air.

The GPU stays around 40C

My system:

Asus P5ND2-SLI
WindowsXP Home w/SP2
P4 650 w/Thermaltake Jungle512 HS/fan
3GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-675
EVGA 7800GT CO - 256MB
2 x 37GB Raptors in RAID 0
Corsair HX620W PSU

And, of course, rushing air is naturally going to be even cooler than static air.

First off... :wtf: who told you that? AIR is AIR.. if its not being cooled or heated by something its going to be the same temp regardless if its moving or not.

Now Rushing air might make you FEEL cooler, than static air but that doesn't mean the temp of the air itself is cooler.

2, I don't get what your asking.

...Now Rushing air might make you FEEL cooler, than static air but that doesn't mean the temp of the air itself is cooler.

And you are absolutely correct. ;)

Here;s what I meant, forgive me for not being perfectly accurate:

Rushing air is going to make things cooler. Otherwise the invention of the fan is worthless.

EDITED Actually to be even more precise, rushing cooler air is going to make things even cooler...versus the standard air the fan is forcing. If the fan sucks in cooler outside air it is going to cool things off that much better. There is also a venturi effect where the same amount of pressure...actually low pressure or (suction) in this case... has the property of increasing air speed depending on the size of the orifice...and please, don't show me an orifice. :rolleyes: Now we all know that faster flowing air cools better...the fan speed control function...and this is what I meant.:D

2, I don't get what your asking.

Sorry about that. Is anyone else seeing these concerns...with these 3 programs malfunctioning?

A restart of the system brought normal temps.

The CPU is back up to 31-35C. The board temp is staying put at about 30C

Apparently there is some software issues.

I don't trust software monitors for much of anything.

They aren't very reliable.:(
